This is the commissioned hat that was the pain in the ass to get done! I will NOT mention where the pattern came from because they normally have great patterns. It's just that if you crochet the pattern as written, as far as the hat is concerned, you will NOT get the hat in the picture! I had to improvise and and "okie engineer" the design, but I have done that sort of thing for years. I was able to follow the pattern, as written thank heaven, for the non-felted brim. And then the reversed single crocheted to put a finish on the edge of the hat. I have to purchase a bottle of liquid starch at the store to starch the brim of the hat before ironing, under a towel, to finish the  hat. I have told the yarn shop owner that I will turn it over to her this saturday. (I am taking it in with me tomorrow to show her.)

I am still working on the dishcloths, washcloths, and towels. These will be an ongoing project worked in between everything else that's going on. I have other UFO's and WIP's, but I won't go there for now.

This saturday I will be going back to the yarn shop to spend the day. I am to spend 11 or so days dog and house sitting for my parents starting saturday night. So, and this routine for me on such occasions, I will spend the day at the yarn shop then head on out to my parents' house. I am taking my laptop with me so I will do my best to keep in touch and keep posting.

Remember: try to keep it in stitches!
